Would I use "is" or "are" in this sentence?
Would it be:
The largest problem with Canada’s upper chamber is the Senators that it is actually comprised of.
OR
The largest problem with Canada’s upper chamber are the Senators that it is actually comprised of.

The largest problem IS .... Actually, I'd turn it around and get rid of the dangling 'of'.
The Senators that actually comprise it are the largest problem with Canada's upper chamber.

The Senators that actually comprise Canada's upper chamber are its largest problem.
(For your sentence IS is correct)
